If the right winged talking point and SPUN FALLACY is that Americans should "completely forget about the right having moved further right" into absolute fascism, racism, nationalism, and white supremacy, to the point of telling black people to "go back" to some other country and throwing migrant children in concentration camps, then here's a newsflash for them... NO we fkng well certainly will NOT.
Nor was Obama the "most leftist President ever elected." Obama WAS, by definition of any analyst or unbiased political pundit NOT attempting to sell us a load of HORSE SHIT, for all practical purposes, a CENTRIST.
He continuously spoke of bipartisanship, his immigration policy fairly much by the book, as policy was at the time, though he at least had the compassion and sensibility enough to seek relief for Dreamers for example, after the GOP continued to stall and obstruct true immigration reform. And the healthcare plan THEY dubbed "Obamacare" was built along Republican lines.
Yet for all of his effort to work WITH the unscrupulous right winged b-----------ds in Congress, they set out, from the very start, in a conspiracy to sabotage his presidency and obstruct every fucking thing he'd try to accomplish.
They blocked minimum wage proposals, and jobs incentives, and stimulus proposals, and tax plans that sought to get the wealthy to pay a fairer share in taxes, and initiatives on behalf of America's veterans, and just about everything else.
All under the phony auspices of "the budget" that they NOW couldn't give a flying FUCK about.
Which just goes to show what trying to meet those fkrs HALF WAY gets us. And what the man DID manage to accomplish, in spite of all of that, Trump and the GOP has been trying to wipe from the annals of history... as if trying to erase Obama's NAME itself.
Only, with Trump's outright embrace of racism, his demonization of minorities and brown skinned immigrants, and the subsequent rise of HIS neo-Nazis, supremacists, and separatists, who Trump and the GOP court, empower, and ENCOURAGE, we now KNOW WHY, don't we?
So, if the left in turn is INDEED lurching further left, then Trump and his deplorables only have THEMSELVES to blame. F------------ 'em.
